Since the phone has about a three year life cycle... flash all you want. Doesn't hurt anything.
[myTouch 4G General] Nicgraner:
No it shouldn't hurt the phone at all besides if you screw up and get a brick lol I mean some roms are full of bloat-ware but most roms run great on the MT4G
[myTouch 4G General] BlackSHELF:
OP if you are referring to the wear level of emmc chip then rest easy as the life life expectancy for R/W is in higher 100k's now. Since our NAND which is based on SLC even when its advertised as MLC the real damage has been already done in terms of using EUDA as its being EEPROM.
[myTouch 4G General] macheteZen:
perfect, this essentially what I meant but didnt know all the fancy acronyms. Thanks for all the posts.
[myTouch 4G General] BlackSHELF:
SLC = Single Level Cell

MLC = Multi Level Cell

EUDA = Enhanced User Data Area

EEPROM = Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory

Sorry I just didn't want to go off topic :P as trying to explain it is another subject of its own as you can understand how chip/data archistructure works. But in simple terms since we are using SLC for our chip as its minimized the risk hence we have half of our storage? That is due to not using MLC at the cost of stability over storage. So flash it all you want :P matter of fact some of us flash it more than once a day as I do it at least twice :P

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boonadx:
The link Vince provided works. In case, you or anybody else looking to fix this haven't tried using adb before, my hard learnt steps are

1. Get the Android SDK for the platform tools

2. Extract the two libskia files into the same folder as the adb.exe (there are some older instructions that says adb.exe is in /tools but it's been moved to /platform-tools)

3. Put your Streak into "Recovery Mode" -> hold down both volume buttons while booting up.

- Then select option 2: Install an update package. I'm not sure what you will see next because I had StreakMod installed at this point but it shouldn't matter.

4. On your PC, follow the instructions in the pocketables post... but it might not work.

Remounting manually

5. On mine, adb remount does not work. So I had to remount manually. I'll recommend you use two command windows for the following. One for your PC/Mac shell and another for the Streak's shell through ADB.

5a. run "adb shell" to get into the Streak shell

5b. run "mkdir /tmp/system" to create a mount point

5c. run "mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /tmp/system"

- Note: I think the mtdblock6 is the standard block device for the internal SD on the Streak but just in case, make sure that it's the correct by checking if the files are there by running "ls /tmp/system/libskia*", you should see two files listed.

5d. Exit the adb shell or switch to the PC window if you're using two windows.

5e. On your PC run "adb push libskia.so /tmp/system" and "adb push libskiagl.so /tmp/system"

5e. Back in the adb shell, verify that the files have been pushed correctly by running the ls command again. The two files should be dated around 2/3 Feb depending on your time zone I think. MOST importantly, check that libskiagl.so are all in small caps and NOT libskiaGL.so. Otherwise, you'll end up with a Streak that doesn't boot past the Dell logo.

5f. If you have the libskiaGL.so name instead. Rename the file properly by using the mv command "mv /tmp/system/libskiaGL.so /tmp/system/libskiagl.so". Double check the renaming worked.

5g. Reboot and it should work.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
The Trigger or the Axura both provide pretty good GPS. Both, I get 10-15 sats with 5-7 lock 20-40 sec average.

Also, GPS aids and the digitaltoddys fix both work as well. You just have to experiment with them. Plus, when you first test (after fresh flash) you need to let it find for about 3-5 mins for 1st run, after that flawless.......... at least for me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
GPS seems very strange in my experience and may depend on your location. Personally I've found KB1 and bionix v 1.3 or trigger to be the best, while others have issues getting locks on this modem. It may be due to hardware differences, but it's tough to narrow it down. Best bet is to experiment and see what works best for you.

Hi guys,

I've been looking for a solution but i couldnt find any.

I have a x10i and just updated to 2.1 with flashtool 0.2.6. after the upgrade the icon of the camera appeared flashing and dumb of me I shutted down the phone.

As a result I am on 2.1 but the camera is not working. When I open the camera application says that is not responding.

Any solution? maybe flash back to 1.6 and upgrade again? or upgrade to 2.1.1 that I just saw? can I upgrade only the camera firmw

Have to say that as I the *.ftf file downloaded I flashed again but the problem still
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidjems:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casacristo:
The purpose of this thread is to put together a sequential list of steps to take on your HTC DESIRE from the moment you unpack it. Feel free to post corrections or additions.

1) Is your HTC DESIRE sim unlocked? If so then skip to step 2

Go to this thread if you want to sim-unlock your HTC DESIRE

2) Rooting Linux HTC desire unrevoke rooting:

Connect phone to a Linux PC (if you have only windows use a bootable linux cd)

Download unrevoked3 and untar.

From the terminal:

wget http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.32/reflash.tar.gz
tar zxvf reflash.tar.gz
cd reflash
chmod +x reflash
sudo ./reflash

Don´t touch the phone, in 2 minutes you are done.

There is also an app on the market called ‘Quick Boot‘ which you can use to quickly get into recovery from now on.

3) (obsolete, unrevoke3 does it also by default) S-OFF your HTC DESIRE (needs rooting done first) Here is the guide

http://alpharev.nl/

http://www.miui-au.com/installation/extras/alpharev/

4) Update your radio (needs rooting done first)

Now you can update the radio click here for details

(Note: there are reports that 32.54.00 may be buggy use the previous one if you have problems with 32.54.00)

32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 should be OK

and make sure you have a matching RIL

5) (obsolete, unrevoke3 does it also by default) Recovery image

Unrevoke rooting already installed the clockwork recovery

But if you prefer

the RA-desire GSM recovery

6) Backup (Nandroid).

Before flashing a ROM its safe to take a backup, just in case if something wrong. ClockworkMod Recovery allows you to take a full Nandroid backup of your phone.

Turn off your phone, press volume down and power button, and it'll take you to HBOOT menu.

Go to Recovery by pressing volume down, and press power button to select. Once you're in ClockworkMod Recovery menu, use your trackpad to scroll and select.

Go to backup and restore, select backup, and it'll backup the whole phone which can be later recovered using the recover option.

7) Now you can load your rom of choice...

Here is the Leedroid rom

http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/21/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-desire-2/

Good guide for rooting and radio

You can find here the LATEST MIUI

Quick Comparison of Notion Ink Adam vs. Motorola Xoom

check out the video!

both tablets are great. but just note, one is running froyo and the other one is honeycomb
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
So the Adam can handle 720p-1080p mkv files? I thought the Tegra2 was incapable of doing that.
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
build quality

Looking at the FCC teardown photos I'm very concerned about build quality with the Notion Ink Adam. While I like the idea of a eink and LCD display combination I'm too scared that their tablet will break prematurely and I'll be left with no option for replacing it.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Yeah. It was pretty shoddy. Looks like it was made in India or something.
[Xoom General] djunio:
That's an insult to India, that pos was made in China (joking).

[Xoom General] ghoticov:
where did that guy get that clock and date widget?
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
More than likely the huge number of widgets and the Clock live WP thats doing that. Very surprising though as every unboxing/review I've seen shows extremely smooth performance out of the Xoom.

WOLF LABS designed all those live wallpapers and they're free too!
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Im sure it is the live wallpaper and the widgets, but the Notion Ink is running the exact same widgets and live wallpaper isn't it? And isn't the Notion Ink running Froyo which does not hardware accelerate the UI while the Xoom is running Honeycomb which does hardware accelerate the UI? And they both have the exact same SoC. Is this just Honeycomb being buggy?
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Yea that's why I'm not completely sure. They're very similar hardware, and I've never seen a Xoom lag like that, it looked pretty bad lol.
[Xoom General] jasbur17:
If they are both 10 inch screens and he shows both screens to be the same length, how is the xoom screen width noticeably wider?
[Xoom General] ghoticov:
Awesome thanks!
[Xoom General] djunio:
Because the Xoom has a 16:10 aspect ratio screen compared to the NI 16:9.
[Xoom General] bmbriefs:
Can someone compare the screen angles on the two? I have seen the NI adam screen angles compared to the g-tablet and they are very similar. It would be interesting to see how the xoom angles stand.
[Xoom General] bnr32jason:
Well, that pretty much blows the idea out of the water that the Tegra 2 can't handle HD video, as obviously the Adam is handling it just fine. Just a software issue it looks like, which can be fixed.
[Continuum Themes and Apps] trailblazer101:
handy little 'mod' i guess you could call it that i figured out..

I like to think of it as like a more advanced LED notifier ;)

If you are interested in a method to get your ticker display to flash on and off for an adjustable length after you get, say, a text message, google voice message, missed call or such, just follow these simple steps :)

1) Install NoLed from the market

2) Get it up and working by enabling it through the home screen widget

3) Set up the options you want to have the ticker flash in "toggle notifications" (Just don't enable "Display Time"

4)de-select, if not already done, all the icons in "Use Icons" except for "others"

5)change the color of the icons to black by clicking on the options under "set colors" and moving all the sliders to the left.

6) Enable Blink

7) in Miscellaneous, uncheck "Disable touch screen".. Also, make sure all the "Use ***" options are enabled..

This is all the necessary adjustments you have to do :) for me personally, i changed under "Blink" the "On time" to 5 Seconds, and the "Off Time" to 10 :)

Hopefully someone will find this useful :D i know i did! :D

Hi,

I finally took the plunge and installed this rom and must say it's great, thanks!

Everything is working good thus far except the trackball does not light up like when I had 2.1 Sense (VillainROM12). It would flash briefly and rapidly and then go, whereas before it would remain lit until I had read the message. Likewise, the amber led would flash but that's gone too. I'm using Handcent as my SMS app and I've set it on in the settings like I did before.

Can someone tell me how I can get these features back please? Thanks.
